Published Thu, Dec 13 2007 1:09 | William

I don't remember the details exactly, but at some point in my very early childhood, me and the folks were flying to Pittsburgh for the holidays. I remember pop being really adamant about "flying 1st class so we don't have to put up with all...

A few years ago, I read a truly excellent book called Why Business People Speak Like Idiots: A Bullfighter's Guide . I really liked it b/c I was working at a place with a whole lot of people who were really into talking in business speak and thought...

JesOS (TM) The First True Christian (TM) Operating System

I'm probably going to hell for even reading this, let alone posting a link to it. Atheists/Agnostics and Christians that can laugh at some of the less desirable aspects of their faith will get a good chuckle out of it. If you are of the persuasion...

A few of these clips are definitely NSFW b/c of the language. In fact, more than a few are. But if you look at some of Jimmy Justice's video , you'll probably laugh your butt off. Basically, he's a citizen vigilante who goes around and photographs...

Passenger's bill of duties

Athough it's been relatively slow in the past few months, I typically have to engage in a good bit of air travel and it seems that many developers/consultants I know are in the same boat.. TSA and similar concerns have made air travel more frustrating...

On Fridays, Kim and I typically go to P.F. Changs for dinner and then go to Barnes and Noble to and go book shopping. Tonight everything was going well, and after dinner we walked across the street to B & N. At some point, I started having flashbacks...

Programmers do actually make suckier interfaces than other people

Published Mon, Feb 5 2007 1:56 | William

Aaron's post asserts that programmers aren't to blame for crappy UIs and I'm not sure he's right about that point. As a programmer and software user, I have to say that most of the truly terrible user interfaces I've seen in my life were not the result...

Every day we go about out lives and we interact with people who we probably don't even think twice about. Many of us interact with pharmacists and never think twice about it, or what they think of us. I know mr 375lb bench press aka 'the lower cased one...

At first when http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/06/08/D8I489R80.html I thought it was a goof but apparently it's not. I know I start getting really nervous if I don't look at my email screen for more than 20 minutes, but I think it's, uhhhh, what they...

Why Technical People shouldn't design interfaces...

Published Fri, Jun 9 2006 4:24 | William

Not too long ago , I discussed the fact that programmers are pretty much the last people that should be developing interfaces. My point wasn't that developers are incapable of understanding good UI design concepts, it's just that for some reason or another...
